In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream shortening, butter, cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed mixture, blending well. Add vanilla, and mix well.
